A- Artworks brief introductionn
1-life IMAGED
2006, 13 mins
Artist : Kazumi KANEMAKI
The juxtaposition of the images between a Western movie by Hollywood and the artist's routine life in the split screen, makes us compare the drama and the daily life. This also shows her daily life where surrounding images internalizes her. This work involves gender issues, since there is an attitude that as a woman it's hard to accept herself as the "Loser" in the Western movie.
2-Living in Box
2007, 7 mins
Artists: Kentaro Taki+Naoya Ooe
Body parts are displayed in the white box as specimen. Each part tries to seek something and these behaviors seem to remind ourselves of today’s blockaded situation. This is the collaboration work with Naoya Ooe(operation) + Maiko Date(dancer) directed by Kentaro Taki. This is the short version of the original work
3-Shot
2007, 11 mins
Artist: Nishiyama Shuhei
Each “moment” of destructive force of the reality has been shot, recorded, and visualized. Set the boundary of before and after deconstruction at the “moment” when image and sound of collision match together, and the artist visualizes idea of "non-revertible." This work deconstructs the image of deconstruction by differentiation, repetition, expansion and addition of image/sound of different moments
4- Pathologic Video Practices
2006, 2 mins
Artist: Naoya Ooe
The simulation of how audiences reacted to films in early times, evokes the sense of falsehood but new perspectives. The extendation relates to the reference to media that to release from captivity of information system.
5- The lost in the Backyard of Surface
2006, 7 mins
Artist: Naoya Ooe
This video is also the one in which artist tries to show the ways we react to images. All images, even though being captured from reality, once become imaged, becoming fiction as well in terms of stirring the fictional behavior of audience who is watching it. In this work, artist used his own video shooting himself when he was a child in order to structure interpretations, fictions, and a highly poetic and sad tales of himself.
